I am a California credentialed Social Science and Elementary teacher, having taught social studies, American History, and World History for 15 years to kids of all ages. History itself is filled with racism and prejudice, war, slavery, colonization/genocide, and so forth. Additionally, my education background, with undergraduate studies in Political Science and Sociology, and, a Ph.D. in Criminal Justice, I have substantial knowledge on race relations, systemic racism, and the sociological, psychological, and philosophical influences and effects portrayals and depictions have on the population. Thus, with my educational background and educator experience, I am qualified and competent to address sensitive and racist depictions to the public, with my specialized emphasis to school-age students.

With that, we will be learning about times in history that are sensitive or mature, such as genocide, imperial European colonization, slavery, and other institutions of discrimination during the time period of 1585 to 1791.  We will also include the perspectives of marginalized people impacted during this time period in pre- United States history. It is advised that such topics will be accurately discussed in a kid-friendly manner.
